What you need to know before buying laminate wooden flooring

by Tiles plus More Metro West’s #1 Choice of Homeowners & Contractors

Laminate wooden floors have become a popular alternative to authentic hardwood floors for several reasons. For busy households, they are incredibly durable, scratch, and fade resistant. They also do not require routine maintenance, re-sanding, and re-finishing that certain types of hardwood floors do. Besides, laminate floors mimic the distinctive look of hardwood, right down to the knotty grains and vibrant hues.

An endless variety of decorating ideas

Like ceramic tiles, the design possibilities with laminate wooden flooring are virtually endless. Whether you love the aesthetic look of distressed floors, the cozy charm of realistic looking hardwood planks, or the contemporary elegance of Parquet flooring. You will find that laminate floors can make an excellent impression without leaving a hole in your wallet. With so many decorating options to choose from, you're sure to find options to make any room complete.

Unparalleled durability

Laminate floors are noted for their incredible strength. Because they are resistant to scratches and scrapes, as well as typical wear and tear from foot traffic and fading from sunlight, they make the perfect choice for an on-the-go family.

 How to correctly install and care for your new floors?

Unlike traditional wood floors and some other types of flooring, laminate wooden flooring can be installed as a DIY home project. Although you will not need a professional installer, it is a good idea to consult with a specialty store. Speak with wood flooring experts in MetroWest if you have any questions about installation.

Caring for it is also a breeze. Just vacuum and mop your floors regularly. If you are worried about water damage, you can also have a water-resistant coating added to your wood laminate floors for added protection. If for some reason your floors need to be repaired, the manufacturer generally sells a repair kit which can let you easily fix the damage caused by dents or large scratches.

Overall, laminated wood is ideal for budget-conscious individuals and families who love the sophisticated look of real hardwood but want the durability of quality engineered flooring that is built to last. With a wide range of choices, lower costs than traditional wood, and the look you love at a fraction of the price, it's easy to see why laminate floors are one of the most popular choices in today's homes.
